How to Do a Simple Romantic Smoky Eye

The makeup look that works for any occasion.

In 2014, I'm focusing on creating fresh, vibrant looks that I can use in many different facets of my life. Whether I am going to a meeting, running errands, or going out to dinner with my husband, I want a look that has an element of glamour and dazzle, but is demure enough that I can run to the park with my son and not be out of place. Here's how to get this gorgeous light pink eye shadow look. Check out the video for a more in-depth tutorial.

Step 1: Prime the entire eyelid area and bottom lash line with an eye shadow primer. This will ensure that the colors dont crease throughout the day and they will also be intensified. Try Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden.

Step 2: With a blending brush, apply a shimmery soft pink on the crease and brow bone. For this look, I used Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette.

Step 3: With a wet brush, apply a gold shadow on the eyelid. I used Tarte Inner Rim liner.

Step 4: With a pencil brush, apply a dark plum shadow on the top of the outer corner in a V-shape.

Step 5: Now that the color is applied, its time to blend with a fluffy blending brush. Take your time in this step and smoke out the color.

Step 6: With the same pencil brush in step 4, apply the dark plum shadow on the bottom lash line leaving about one third of space toward the inner corner free.
